The film begins with a brief introduction that lists the city's automotive industry along side its lesser known industries including the manufacture of business machines, paints, Stroh's, potato chips, and industrial and commercial films. It also lists major corporations and banks present in the city, and highlights the convention and tourism industries.
The film then focuses on the recently constructed Renaissance Center, as an "investment in the city's future" headed by Henry Ford II. The adjacent Hart Plaza is also shown, representing downtown development. The narrator describes the 1980 Republican National Convention as being a success of the Renaissance Center. The film also mentions "Phase 2" in the Renaissance Center's development--the addition of Towers500 and 600.

Other developments around the city are also highlighted. The narrator mentions an "elevated urban transport system" in downtown (the People Mover). New Center One, and General Motors' New Center Commons housing development are also mentioned.

John Adams of Adams Industries, a light aircraft manufacturing firm, is also interviewed. He talks about working with city government during while relocating his business to Detroit.

Downtown Detroit is seeing a revitalization of sorts sparked by Dan Gilbert's $1 billion investment in the area. Since 2010, Gilbert's investment has created an estimated 6,500 jobs in downtown, and, as a result, it's nearly impossible to find a vacant apartment as residential occupancy rates reached as high as 99.4% for the downtown area.
But what about the rest of the city? You can buy a bunch of homes outside of downtown Detroit for under $500 and some are even listed at just $1.
Problem is: these prices are incredibly misleading. The homes are in abysmal condition and there are few city services in and around these neighborhoods.
Detroit realtor John Lewis took us to the Brightmoor neighborhood to show us what these $1 Detroit homes are really like.

The highly anticipated mixtape caused the mixtape site DatPiff to crash upon the mixtapes eventual release. Detroit was viewed 1.5 million times on the day of release and was downloaded close to 700,000 - with 500,000 downloads within three hours. It has been downloaded over a million times.

Background

Sean first announced the mixtape on August 20, 2012 via Twitter and a YouTube video titled "Big Sean Mixtape Announcement 1972". Big Sean released three song previews in the shape of short music videos as promotion before the mixtape release; "How It Feel" on August 21, "24 Karats of Gold" on August 28 and "RWT" on September 4. Sean paid for the expenses of the videos himself. The title of the mixtape pays homage to Sean's hometown of Detroit.

Service

The People Mover bus system includes regular all-day service routes on many of the city's major streets as well as one route with limited service that goes from Anchorage to Eagle River and Birchwood during the weekday commute hours. Many routes terminate at the Downtown Transit Center, located at the southeast corner of 6th Avenue and H Street in Downtown Anchorage.

People Mover service for most routes within Anchorage begins at 6 or 7 am and ends at 9 or 10 pm, with some of the major routes running until 11 pm on weekdays. On Saturdays, most of the all-day routes begin service at 8 or 9 am, and end at 7 or 8 pm. On Sundays, the service in much more limited, with most routes starting at 10 or 11 am and ending at 5 or 6 pm.

BusinessWeek and Interbrand ranked American Express as the 22nd most valuable brand in the world, estimating the brand to be worth US$14.97billion.Fortune listed Amex as one of the top 20 Most Admired Companies in the World.

Early history

In 1850, American Express was started as an express mail business in Buffalo, New York. It was founded as a joint stock corporation by the merger of the express companies owned by Henry Wells (Wells & Company), William G. Fargo (Livingston, Fargo & Company), and John Warren Butterfield (Wells, Butterfield & Company, the successor earlier in 1850 of Butterfield, Wasson & Company). Wells and Fargo also started Wells Fargo & Co. in 1852 when Butterfield and other directors objected to the proposal that American Express extend its operations to California.

Born Harald Thumann in Germany, he started out as a drummer while getting a thorough grounding in audio engineering in German broadcasting. When touring lost appeal, Thumann put his musical and technical experience to work and started his first recording studio in a bedroom at the family home. Thumann participated in the development of the SSL 4000 series of consoles, and took the first one for this studio. Premises for a permanent studio with live-in accommodation were found in Germering near Munich, and Countrylane Studios were born.

Thumann later recognised the potential of MIDI, and used Commodore 64 computers with MIDI cards, controlling a system that evolved into a synthesizer installation including Fairlight II and Moog 3C modular system. This led to a string of albums for Rondò Veneziano, which married both acoustic instruments and synthesizers. Thumann's own second solo album was Andromeda (1982).

Small business

Small businesses are normally privately owned corporations, partnerships, or sole proprietorships. What businesses are defined as "small" in terms of government support and tax policy varies depending on the country and industry. Small businesses range from 15 employees under the AustralianFair Work Act 2009, 50 employees according to the definition used by the European Union, and fewer than 500 employees to qualify for many U.S. Small Business Administration programs. Small businesses can also be classified according to other methods such as sales, assets, or net profits.

Characteristics

Researchers and analysts of small or owner-managed businesses generally behave as if nominal organizational forms (e.g., partnership, sole-trader or corporation) and the consequent legal and accounting boundaries of owner-managed firms are consistently meaningful. However, owner-managers often do not delineate their behaviour to accord with the implied separation between their personal and business interests. Lenders also often contract around organizational (corporate) boundaries by seeking personal guarantees or accepting privately held assets as collateral. Because of this behaviour, researchers and analysts should reject the relevance of the organizational types and implied boundaries in many contexts relating to owner-managed firms. These include analyses that use traditional accounting disclosures, and studies that view the firm as defined by some formal organizational structure.

Small Business Saturday

Small Business Saturday is an American shopping holiday held on the Saturday after US Thanksgiving during one of the busiest shopping periods of the year.

History

First observed in Roslindale Village, Massachusetts on November 27, 2010, it is a counterpart to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, which feature big box retail and e-commerce stores respectively. By contrast, Small Business Saturday encourages holiday shoppers to patronize brick and mortar businesses that are small and local. Small Business Saturday is a registered trademark of American Express corporation.

The heart of New Center was developed in the 1920s as a business hub that would offer convenient access to both downtown resources and outlying factories. Some historians believe that New Center may be the original edge city—a sub-center remote from, but related to, a main urban core. The descriptor "New Center" derived its name from the New Center News, an automotive-focused free newspaper begun in 1933 that continues to operate under the name Detroit Auto Scene. From 1923 to 1996, General Motors maintained its world headquarters in New Center (in what is now Cadillac Place) before relocating downtown to the Renaissance Center; before becoming a division of GM, Fisher Body was headquartered in the Fisher Building. Both Cadillac Place and the Fisher Building are National Historic Landmarks. In addition to the government and commercial offices along Woodward and Grand Boulevard, New Center contains the Fisher Theatre, the HotelSt. Regis, the Henry Ford Hospital, restaurants, and residential areas.

Operation Compliance: Detroit's War on Small Business

Operation Compliance: Detroit's War on Small Business

Operation Compliance: Detroit's War on Small Business

"Someone breaks in, they never show up. Yet still, they want to come and blackball you and close your business," says DerekLittle, owner of an auto shop along Detroit's Livernois Avenue.
He's one of many business owners in Detroit who's faced what he says amounts to harassment from the city's overzealous code enforcement. Amidst a bankruptcy and a fast-dwindling population and tax base, the city has prioritized the task of ensuring that all businesses are in compliance with its codes and permitting. To accomplish this, Mayor David Bing announced in January that he'd assembled a task force to execute OperationCompliance.
Operation Compliance began with the stated goal of shutting down 20 businesses a week. Since its inception, Operation Compliance has resulted in the closure of 383 small businesses, with another 536 in the "process of compliance," according to figures provided to Reason TV by city officials.
But business owners say that Operation Compliance unfairly targets small, struggling businesses in poor areas of town and that the city's maze of regulations is nearly impossible to navigate, with permit fees that are excessive and damaging to businesses running on thin profit margins.
"It is hard to run a business in Detroit. It's taken me three years to get approval for an outside patio," says Larry Mongo, who runs Cafe D'Mongo's Speakeasy a successful bar and restaurant in downtown Detroit.
While Cafe D'Mongo's is now well-established and successful, Mongo says that the inscrutable regulations, frustrating bureaucracy, and rampant corruption among city officials discourages many would-be entrepreneurs from ever pursuing their business ideas in the city.
"What about the person starting out? The reputation that they give their relatives, their cousins, their friends... They say, 'Hey, don't [start a business]. They rob you,'" says Mongo.
Operation Compliance is but one manifestation of a larger problem in Detroit says Michael LaFaive, Director of the MackinacCenter in Michigan. That problem is a local government more focused on collecting revenue and maintaining municipal worker jobs than it is on creating a business-friendly environment.
"Accidentally, the city has created sort of an anarchistic culture in the city, where many entrepreneurs, where many of the smaller retailers and entrepreneurs simply forgo getting the required permits," says LaFaive. "So entrepreneurs have said, 'Look, let them catch me if they can.' Right now, the city has decided, 'We're going to try to catch you, and we're going to put together a special unit to do so.'"
Officials from the city of Detroit did not respond to requests to be interviewed for this story.

Detroit Is Losing Money On The 'People Mover' Train That No One Ever Rides

Detroit Is Losing Money On The 'People Mover' Train That No One Ever Rides

Detroit Is Losing Money On The 'People Mover' Train That No One Ever Rides

The "People Mover" is a unique light rail system in downtown Detroit that hardly anyone uses. Mainly because it can only go in one direction and covers a minuscule 2.9-mile circumference.
The aptly named People Mover does have its uses, though, and, at just $0.75 a ride, it's super cheap. Problem is, the People Mover is quite the money-losing venture.
Every ride taken on the People Mover costs the Detroit Transportation Corporation a little less than $4.
Regardless, most Detroiters like the People Mover and don't want to get rid of it. Watch to learn more about this strange love/hate relationship between the city of Detroit and the People Mover.

Is Project Green Light making some Detroit businesses safer at a cost to others?

The green lights dotting Detroit streets have been cheered by city leaders as a guardian angel of sorts, protecting customers from crime and giving criminals reason to worry.

The Truth Behind Those $1 Detroit Homes

Downtown Detroit is seeing a revitalization of sorts sparked by Dan Gilbert's $1 billion investment in the area. Since 2010, Gilbert's investment has created an estimated 6,500 jobs in downtown, and, as a result, it's nearly impossible to find a vacant apartment as residential occupancy rates reached as high as 99.4% for the downtown area.
But what about the rest of the city? You can buy a bunch of homes outside of downtown Detroit for under $500 and some are even listed at just $1.
Problem is: these prices are incredibly misleading. The homes are in abysmal condition and there are few city services in and around these neighborhoods.
Detroit realtor John Lewis took us to the Brightmoor neighborhood to show us what these $1 Detroit homes are really like.

Operation Compliance: Detroit's War on Small Business

"Someone breaks in, they never show up. Yet still, they want to come and blackball you and close your business," says DerekLittle, owner of an auto shop along Detroit's Livernois Avenue.
He's one of many business owners in Detroit who's faced what he says amounts to harassment from the city's overzealous code enforcement. Amidst a bankruptcy and a fast-dwindling population and tax base, the city has prioritized the task of ensuring that all businesses are in compliance with its codes and permitting. To accomplish this, Mayor David Bing announced in January that he'd assembled a task force to execute OperationCompliance.
Operation Compliance began with the stated goal of shutting down 20 businesses a week. Since its inception, Operation Compliance has resulted in the closure of 383 sma...

Detroit Is Losing Money On The 'People Mover' Train That No One Ever Rides

The "People Mover" is a unique light rail system in downtown Detroit that hardly anyone uses. Mainly because it can only go in one direction and covers a minuscule 2.9-mile circumference.
The aptly named People Mover does have its uses, though, and, at just $0.75 a ride, it's super cheap. Problem is, the People Mover is quite the money-losing venture.
Every ride taken on the People Mover costs the Detroit Transportation Corporation a little less than $4.
Regardless, most Detroiters like the People Mover and don't want to get rid of it. Watch to learn more about this strange love/hate relationship between the city of Detroit and the People Mover.

2015.008.097
U-Matic tape containing the c. 1982 version of the promotional film "DetroitMeansBusiness," produced by the UrbanCommunicationsGroup for the Detroit Department of Public Information and the Community and Economic DevelopmentDepartment.
The film begins with a brief introduction that lists the city's automotive industry along side its lesser known industries including the manufacture of business machines, paints, Stroh's, potato chips, and industrial and commercial films. It also lists major corporations and banks present in the city, and highlights the convention and tourism industries.
The film then focuses on the recently constructed Renaissance Center, as an "investment in the city's future" headed by Henry Ford II. The adjacent Hart Plaza is also shown, representing downtown development. The narrator describes the 1980 Republican National Convention as being a success of the Renaissance Center. The film also mentions "Phase 2" in the Renaissance Center's development--the addition of Towers500 and 600.
Next, Mayor Coleman A. Young is shown discussing his efforts to create a coalition of government, business, and labor--Detroit Renaissance--to assure the city's prosperity. Max M. Fisher then is shown talking about the origins of Detroit Renaissance, and his role as the first chairman.
Using animated graphics, the film then describes the relationships between the Economic GrowthCorporation, the DowntownDevelopmentAuthority, and the Economic Development Corporation.
Several developments facilitated by these partnerships are then covered. Ronald Ratner of Forest CityDillon is filmed talking about his company's Trolley Plaza. The same company's plans for the Millender Center are also detailed by the narrator. Esther Edwards of the Americal Development Corporation talks about her company's work on Trapper's Alley. The film also features maps showing the Riverfront West Project--Max Fisher and Alfred Taubman's plan for hotel and marina (RiverfrontApartments)--and the Riverfront East Project--a Stroh's complex (River Place). The narrator also briefly mentions a plan for parks between the sites.
Other developments around the city are also highlighted. The narrator mentions an "elevated urban transport system" in downtown (the People Mover). New Center One, and General Motors' New Center Commons housing development are also mentioned.
Moving from the topic of housing to that of jobs, the film then focuses on the CentralIndustrial Park project--General Motors' new General Motors AssemblyDivision plant in Poletown. The film mentions the issue of land acquisition for the project. GM chairman Roger Smith appears to discuss working with the city to realize the project. John Adams of Adams Industries, a light aircraft manufacturing firm, is also interviewed. He talks about working with city government during while relocating his business to Detroit.
The next segment of the film highlights other details that might woo business to the city including income levels, other industries, the city's role as a transportation hub, dependable energy, fresh water, and the pool of skilled workers. Doug Fraser of the United Auto Workers is interviewed about the city's work force. He discusses productivity, and the positive relationships between workers and management. The film then briefly touches upon universities, colleges, and technical schools in the area, as well as the existence of high tech industries like robotics, and the presence of the Detroit Medical Center.
In a closing montage, the film touches on neighborhoods, home ownership, arts, recreation, sports, music, dining in the city.
The video is on a 30 minute Sony U-Matic tape with a handwritten ProducersColorService, Incorporated, Video Communications Division label on its top. The video is housed within a black plastic latching case with a matching label on its cover, and a City of Detroit Department of Public Information Video Production label on its spine.

Operation Compliance: Detroit's War on Small Business

"Someone breaks in, they never show up. Yet still, they want to come and blackball you and close your business," says DerekLittle, owner of an auto shop along Detroit's Livernois Avenue.
He's one of many business owners in Detroit who's faced what he says amounts to harassment from the city's overzealous code enforcement. Amidst a bankruptcy and a fast-dwindling population and tax base, the city has prioritized the task of ensuring that all businesses are in compliance with its codes and permitting. To accomplish this, Mayor David Bing announced in January that he'd assembled a task force to execute OperationCompliance.
Operation Compliance began with the stated goal of shutting down 20 businesses a week. Since its inception, Operation Compliance has resulted in the closure of 383 small businesses, with another 536 in the "process of compliance," according to figures provided to Reason TV by city officials.
But business owners say that Operation Compliance unfairly targets small, struggling businesses in poor areas of town and that the city's maze of regulations is nearly impossible to navigate, with permit fees that are excessive and damaging to businesses running on thin profit margins.
"It is hard to run a business in Detroit. It's taken me three years to get approval for an outside patio," says Larry Mongo, who runs Cafe D'Mongo's Speakeasy a successful bar and restaurant in downtown Detroit.
While Cafe D'Mongo's is now well-established and successful, Mongo says that the inscrutable regulations, frustrating bureaucracy, and rampant corruption among city officials discourages many would-be entrepreneurs from ever pursuing their business ideas in the city.
"What about the person starting out? The reputation that they give their relatives, their cousins, their friends... They say, 'Hey, don't [start a business]. They rob you,'" says Mongo.
Operation Compliance is but one manifestation of a larger problem in Detroit says Michael LaFaive, Director of the MackinacCenter in Michigan. That problem is a local government more focused on collecting revenue and maintaining municipal worker jobs than it is on creating a business-friendly environment.
"Accidentally, the city has created sort of an anarchistic culture in the city, where many entrepreneurs, where many of the smaller retailers and entrepreneurs simply forgo getting the required permits," says LaFaive. "So entrepreneurs have said, 'Look, let them catch me if they can.' Right now, the city has decided, 'We're going to try to catch you, and we're going to put together a special unit to do so.'"
Officials from the city of Detroit did not respond to requests to be interviewed for this story.

The "People Mover" is a unique light rail system in downtown Detroit that hardly anyone uses. Mainly because it can only go in one direction and covers a minuscule 2.9-mile circumference.
The aptly named People Mover does have its uses, though, and, at just $0.75 a ride, it's super cheap. Problem is, the People Mover is quite the money-losing venture.
Every ride taken on the People Mover costs the Detroit Transportation Corporation a little less than $4.
Regardless, most Detroiters like the People Mover and don't want to get rid of it. Watch to learn more about this strange love/hate relationship between the city of Detroit and the People Mover.

The Truth Behind Those $1 Detroit Homes

Downtown Detroit is seeing a revitalization of sorts sparked by Dan Gilbert's $1 billion investment in the area. Since 2010, Gilbert's investment has created an estimated 6,500 jobs in downtown, and, as a result, it's nearly impossible to find a vacant apartment as residential occupancy rates reached as high as 99.4% for the downtown area.
But what about the rest of the city? You can buy a bunch of homes outside of downtown Detroit for under $500 and some are even listed at just $1.
Problem is: these prices are incredibly misleading. The homes are in abysmal condition and there are few city services in and around these neighborhoods.
Detroit realtor John Lewis took us to the Brightmoor neighborhood to show us what these $1 Detroit homes are really like.

Operation Compliance: Detroit's War on Small Business

"Someone breaks in, they never show up. Yet still, they want to come and blackball you and close your business," says DerekLittle, owner of an auto shop along Detroit's Livernois Avenue.
He's one of many business owners in Detroit who's faced what he says amounts to harassment from the city's overzealous code enforcement. Amidst a bankruptcy and a fast-dwindling population and tax base, the city has prioritized the task of ensuring that all businesses are in compliance with its codes and permitting. To accomplish this, Mayor David Bing announced in January that he'd assembled a task force to execute OperationCompliance.
Operation Compliance began with the stated goal of shutting down 20 businesses a week. Since its inception, Operation Compliance has resulted in the closure of 383 small businesses, with another 536 in the "process of compliance," according to figures provided to Reason TV by city officials.
But business owners say that Operation Compliance unfairly targets small, struggling businesses in poor areas of town and that the city's maze of regulations is nearly impossible to navigate, with permit fees that are excessive and damaging to businesses running on thin profit margins.
"It is hard to run a business in Detroit. It's taken me three years to get approval for an outside patio," says Larry Mongo, who runs Cafe D'Mongo's Speakeasy a successful bar and restaurant in downtown Detroit.
While Cafe D'Mongo's is now well-established and successful, Mongo says that the inscrutable regulations, frustrating bureaucracy, and rampant corruption among city officials discourages many would-be entrepreneurs from ever pursuing their business ideas in the city.
"What about the person starting out? The reputation that they give their relatives, their cousins, their friends... They say, 'Hey, don't [start a business]. They rob you,'" says Mongo.
Operation Compliance is but one manifestation of a larger problem in Detroit says Michael LaFaive, Director of the MackinacCenter in Michigan. That problem is a local government more focused on collecting revenue and maintaining municipal worker jobs than it is on creating a business-friendly environment.
"Accidentally, the city has created sort of an anarchistic culture in the city, where many entrepreneurs, where many of the smaller retailers and entrepreneurs simply forgo getting the required permits," says LaFaive. "So entrepreneurs have said, 'Look, let them catch me if they can.' Right now, the city has decided, 'We're going to try to catch you, and we're going to put together a special unit to do so.'"
Officials from the city of Detroit did not respond to requests to be interviewed for this story.
